(ThyBlackMan.com) I have written several columns this year about how the Trump administration is open for business, especially when it comes to small business. Some have derided my optimism regarding this assertion.  To those who have derided me, I have one response.  In the immortal words of rapper Kool Moe Dee, “How Ya Like Me Now?” Last week I hosted twenty of the top Black, Asian, Hispanic, and Indian entrepreneurs […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Every December, we celebrate the story of a child born in a manger. We adorn nativity scenes with soft light and warm sentiment, but we rarely linger on the truth of the story: Jesus was born housing insecure. There was no room at the inn. His family was displaced, turned away, and forced to improvise shelter in the most vulnerable of circumstances. Two thousand years later, the story resonates […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Sean Combs: The Reckoning streamed to a huge audience on Netflix. What Reckoning doesn’t say or show is how and why Sean Combs represents a piece of many of us. That starts with why his story is even a story and why he is so well-known and in a perverse way still fawned over. The starting point is celebrity. Millions are intoxicated by it. Mention even the most insignificant. trivial, even downright silly, […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) Is Nick Fuentes Gay is a question that blends political theatre, cultural division, online rumor mills and the complicated realities of sexuality in the public arena.

A true mentor doesn’t just teach; they shape how you think, act, and see yourself. They challenge your comfort zones and show you what’s possible when you trust your potential. Their influence lingers long after the conversations end, subtly guiding […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) During this inflationary period, we hear many complaints about energy costs, the rising price of electricity, food, clothing and other items. What most don’t know is the rising costs we are being charged for electricity have nothing to do with the number of kilowatts we ourselves use. The escalating costs are because of the energy the AI data, collection and storage systems are using along with water to power and […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) We normally say the title of this missive in reference to children, then again, that description seems to fit Marxist leftists as well. I mean, seriously, who in their right mind would come out and say that President Trump is bombing fishing boats in the Caribbean Sea? Hmm, I spent a few years down in South Florida and am quite familiar with speed boats. Bubba ain’t using a cigarette […]

(ThyBlackMan.com) The United States faces an immediate moral and constitutional crisis because of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s actions. The latest evidence shows that American military forces on purpose struck survivors a second time following their Caribbean operation which violates all established legal, operational, and ethical standards. The Defense Secretary Hegseth has responded to the situation by creating multiple explanations while avoiding direct answers and minimizing the severity of the incident. […]
